Hollow composite insulators are superior in that they are light, explosion proof, and pollution resistant, and their economic efficiency is advantageous at larger classes especially. However, developing compact gas-filled bushings by improving electric field distribution is important. The main issue for making design more compact is finding a way to reduce electric field strength on the outside hollow composite insulator around the inside grounded electrode tip. A new-type inner grounded electrode structure which consists of ring-shaped electrode and cylindrical electrode is proposed. This paper describes the effect of reduction of maximum value of electric field strength on the outside hollow insulator by the new-type one. Finally, the insulation performance of the prototype of 800-kV gas-filled bushing is described with a discussion of the results of testing fundamental insulation and overvoltage.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"289 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116581029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance indices correspond to the three main aspects of DRSs evaluation called service quality, consumer comfort, and device life time. In order to demonstrate the performance evaluation process, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) loads (as an example of TCA loads) are used and simulated for providing a DRS called load balancing service (LBS). The simulation results show that by comparing the performance indices, one can easily quantify the provided service quality and the trade-off made in terms of device lifetime and customer comfort levels.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132357087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such move should go hand in hand with an increasing distributed energy resource use to guarantee sustainable renewable energy integration into these systems. In the present document, EES technologies and applications have been compiled, where special emphasis has been given on islands, studying their particular requirements and technology appropriateness on operating project experiences around the world, from which some lessons can be learned.

The proposed approach is based on the real power flows and load demand in the system. Real power flow patterns at a given load have been determined using the load flow technique. As power system is continuously subjected to load variations, various load flow patterns have been obtained by increasing load at every bus. From different flow patterns different flow coverage matrices have been generated under a fixed flow coverage criterion. These flow coverage matrices have been utilized to determine the bus which covers the maximum demand of the system. The bus which covers maximum demand for various flow patterns has been selected for PMU placement. Sequential placement of PMU is considered with gradual increment in number of PMUs till whole demand of the system is covered. The proposed PMU placement technique has been tested on IEEE-14 and New England-39 bus system.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127670663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make the system controllable and deliver maximum power to the load a fuzzy controlled Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is used with Fuzzy maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controlled Photovoltaic array to make the output power of the hybrid energy system controllable. The two power management strategies unit power control and feeder flow control strategies are used to operate a grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) hybrid energy system. The proposed operating strategy coordinates the two control modes, Unit Power Control (UPC) and feeder-flow control (FFC) mode and make the hybrid system output controllable. The proposed fuzzy controlled hybrid system eliminates the perturbations in the PV output power and transients in the fuel cell voltage and always operates the hybrid energy system at maximum output power with reduced number of mode changes.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116873423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
